Okay here's a little re-write on how I would have liked things to have happened on GH

~ When You Lie Next To Me ~

She followed him out into the hallway. Wanting to stop him from leaving for the market when she saw them, Alexis was in Sonny's arms.

S: You don't look good Alexis, come in and sit down.

A: I'm fine, really.

It all came rushing back to her hitting her like a ton of bricks. She remembered what she saw that night, what had made her so upset. She fumbled with the words "Oh my god I remember."

Sonny moved quickly away from Alexis. The look on his ex-wife's face said it all. He knew he was going to loose her all over again. He moved toward her closing the gap between them. He reached out trying to touch her.

S: Carly please come back inside with me.

She coiled back away from him "Don't touch me! Don't you ever touch me again!"

Carly frantically tried to get past him, she needed to get away and stop the memories and images that were running through her mind. Sonny tried stopping her by grabbing her from behind to keep her from leaving. As the elevator doors opened up Jason could hear her cries, then he saw her fighting desperately to get away from Sonny. His need to protect her kicked in and before he knew it he was prying Sonny off of her.

J: Leave her alone Sonny! Let go of her.

Carly was oblivious to Jason even being there she was so hysterical. Once she was free she stopped only for an instance and looked at Jason but didn't register that he was even there. She jumped onto the elevator and took off.

Sonny pushed Jason hard into the wall. "What the hell Jason! I need to stop her."

Jason pushed him back even harder. "You leave her the hell alone! She obviously doesn't want you near her."

S: You walk in here and don't even have a clue what's going on. What are you standing here for? Go get her!

J: Oh I will find her, but I won't be bringing her back to you.

With that said Jason stormed onto the elevator and pulled out his cell phone calling Johnny. "Tell me she is with you."

Johnny: She is. I'm driving her home.

J: What's the address?

Johnny: 717 Montcalm Avenue

J: Don’t let her out of your sight till I get there.

Johnny: You got it.

Johnny pulled up to the house and opened the door for Carly. He was terribly concerned about her. She seemed to be void of any emotion. He was sure he would find her crying or even mad but she wasn't anything. Her facial expression was just blank as she slowly climbed out of the limo.

J: Carly can I do anything for you?

Carly smiled and touched his face "No I just need some alone time."

J: You sure you're going to be all right?

C: It's just me and Michael now, I will make sure we are fine.

She walked up the drive and entered her home. She hadn't been "home" since the accident. She loved this place and the fact that it was all hers. She left the lights off and entered and made her way over to the phone.

C: Hi Mama it's me. I am fine. I know I just had to get out of there. I am home. No! I'm at my house. Sonny isn't a part of my life any longer. Mama please, I can't talk about it right now. I just need to make sure Michael is safe. Thank you. I will pick him up tomorrow. No don't come over, I just need a night to myself. I love you too Mama.

She hung up the phone, fresh tears starting to fall from her eyes. She was so exhausted. Tired from everything and everyone. She just wanted to shut out the world even if it was for only one night.

She slowly climbed the stairs wanting nothing but to sink into her own bed and just sleep and lock out the world. She robotically shed her clothes leaving just her bra and panties on and climbed into bed. She pulled the blankets up around her and as soon as her head hit the pillow the tears began to fall. She cried for all her unfulfilled dreams and hopes, she cried for lost loves and words that were never spoken. As her mind went running over the last year of her life she found that she wasn't crying so much for her ended marriage with Sonny. If she was truthful with herself she realized Sonny wasn't ever really there. He never truly opened his heart up to her, so how could their marriage ever really have worked. Without warning his ice blue eyes popped into her mind. She closed her eyes and tried to remember exactly how he looked. "God I need you Jase," she whispered between sobs. She needed him to chase away all the bad stuff running through her head, and to help her feel again. Most of all she just needed him and to be in his arms where she knew she would be safe. Before long she had cried herself to sleep and tried to dream of the one man who still owned her heart.

Downstairs Jason had just pulled up and met Johnny outside.

J: What is this place?

Johnny gave him a confused look. "This is where Carly and Michael live."

J: Why aren't they at the penthouse?

Johnny: Jason they haven't lived there since Sonny threw her out. They are divorced man.

J: They are divorced?

Johnny: Yeah things fell apart right after you left last time.

J: That was almost a year ago - they have been apart that long?

Johnny: Yeah man I thought you knew.

J: Sonny never told me any of this. He just called me recently to help look for Carly when she disappeared.

Johnny: Looks likes some things don't change. I'm sorry Jason.

J: How could you have known. I will get to the bottom of things. You watching Carly?

Johnny: I haven't been, actually she hasn't had any guards on her.

J: What the fuck! Well as of right now your back on her and Michael. Where is he now?

Johnny: He's at the Brownstone with Bobbie.

J: Okay go over their and make sure AJ doesn't get near him. I will stay here with Carly tonight.

Johnny: You got it.

J: Thanks man.

Jason walked up the walkway. The place was cute, with a nice yard for Michael. He could totally see Carly living here. He opened the front door then locked it behind him. He stopped looking around and taking in the surroundings. The moonlight lit up the rooms pretty well and he began walking around checking out the place. He smiled as he tripped over a few of Michael's toys that were lying on the floor. He missed that, coming home to a family and a houseful of noise.

The last year he had been gone had been spent alone and he was so sick of the quiet, he yearned for noise, the noise that he used have with Carly and Michael. Carly, he needed to see her. He turned and found the stairs, making his way up them he chose one of the rooms and slowly pushed the door open discovering it was Michael's.

He looked around noticing all the travel books he used to read him stacked neatly by his bed. God he would give anything to be able to tuck him in each night and read to him from those books. He lightly touched Michael's pillow running over the soft material where he would lay his head each night. A deep sigh escaped him as he went onto find Carly's room. Her door was ajar and he quiet pushed it open and leaned on the frame of the door as his eyes took in her small form lying in the bed. Her bare back was to him so he couldn't see her face to tell if she was asleep or not so he just stood there frozen with his heart tied in knots.

From the moment he had gotten Sonny's call telling him her car had gone off the cliff he had been terrified. Terrified that he would never see her face again, never touch her or feel her skin against his. He had made so many mistakes in the past, leaving her was the one he found he couldn't get past. He loved her and was still in love with her. No matter how far he traveled or what woman he tried to use to forget her he always came back to the same spot. He always came back to her; she was the only thing that he wanted in this world. She was the only thing that could make him complete.

My heart is yours
Every part of me wants to give you more
More time to love
'Cause you never know when life will leave us
I want to take in all the beauty here
Let the world around us just disappear

He wrestled with his emotions, the selfish side of him wanted so desperately to go and wake her up, but his sensible side knew she had been through so much and needed to rest. So as quietly as he could he walked over and kneeled down in front of her. The moonlight illuminated the tears that had fallen down her beautiful face. His hand hovered just above her face. He looked carefully at the bruises on her face and cut above her eye. His finger gently tracing above the cut, not touching it in fear that he might wake her, but close enough that he could almost feel the warmth of her skin. This never should have happened he silently cursed himself for leaving her and not just fully giving her his heart years ago. He came to realize that all the heartache and pain they both had endured apart was stupid when all he had to say was "I Love You Carly." He had been given a second chance when he found out she was alive. A chance he wasn't going to let slip away this time.

A whimper escaped her and her face began contorting in pain as she began tossing and turning.

J: Sshhhhh Carly your safe. Nothing can hurt you.

His voice seemed to soothe her instantly. Although she didn't open her eyes, her face became peaceful again and she stilled in the bed, cuddling tighter into her pillow. Jason smiled seeing her at ease. Not wanting to leave her he got comfortable on the floor by her, his head leaning on bed next to hers. He stared at her not wanting to close his eyes in fear that she would be gone when he opened them. He fought his exhaustion as long as he could before he gave in and fell asleep next to her.

A few hours passed and Jason went to move, a sharp pain shot through his neck. His eyes sprung open and he realized where he was. He found Carly had turned over and her back was now to him. He couldn't help himself and he reached out and touched her bare skin. It had been so long and he just couldn't wait any longer. He got up on his knees and his lips quickly replaced his hand. He placed light sweet kisses along her shoulder blades, his tongue darting out to taste her sweet skin. He stopped when she began to stir. Soft moans escaping her lips as she turned around toward him. He brushed her blonde hair away from her face then let his fingers roam down to her lips. He traced their fullness until her eyes started to flutter open. She didn't scream, jump or even move, her eyes just bore into him.

I want to feel you breathe
Lost in mystery
Come over close to me
You are my everything
I'll hold you endlessly

C: Are you real? she asked him calmly without any hint of emotion not wanting to be disappointed yet again.

J: Yeah I am.

She reached out and touched his face making sure. His eyes closed and he leaned into her touch.

C: Jase …….

J: I can't believe you are finally right in front of me. You scared me so much I thought I had lost you.

He reached out and lightly touched her cut "are you okay?"

C: I survived.

J: That's not what I asked.

Carly just closed her eyes as the tears began to run down her face. "I want the pain to go away Jase. Can you make it go away?"

J: God baby………..

His heart was breaking, seeing her like this. Without hesitation he quickly removed his shoes and jacket and climbed into bed with her, wrapping his arms securely around her from behind. "I'm right here Carly. I won't let you go."

She gripped onto his forearms tightly and between sobs she kept repeating. "I don't want to hurt anymore, I don't want to hurt."

They both fell asleep in each other's arms. Carly finally feeling safe enough to close her eyes knowing Jason would keep her safe; and Jason finally being able to hold again the woman he loved.

In the early morning hours Carly began to tremble violently and crying out "please help me" over and over again. Jason quickly woke up and tried to bring her out of her nightmare by shaking her gently and talking to her.

J: Carly wake up. Wake up!

She sat up startled gasping for air. Jason sat up with her trying to calm her down. "You're safe Carly. You at home and your safe." He reached out to touch her but she pulled away scared and scrambled away from him curling up against the headboard of the bed her legs tucked into her chest.

Jason wasn't sure how to help her and that scared him. "Carly it's me Jason."

Carly seemed to not even hear him just mumbled through her sobs. Jason inched closer to her.

J: Carly look at me. (getting frustrated in not being able to reach her he shouted) Carly LOOK AT ME!!

That seemed to snap her out of it and she looked at him. She stopped crying and really looked at him. "Jase?" He reached out and brushed her hair away from her face so he could see her eyes and get a better read as to what she was thinking.

J: Yes Carly I am here.

Once she realized that Jason was really there with her she launched herself into his arms holding onto him for dear life. Jason just held her and rocked her while she cried.

It seemed as though a lifetime had passed when she finally stopped sobbing, it was if her body had finally run out of tears. She laid in his arms quietly as he kissed her head and continued to rub her back. "I wish the nightmares would stop Jase. I just wish they would stop."

J: Your accident?

C: Yeah.

J: Want to talk about it?

C: No I am tired of thinking and talking about it.

Carly sat up and moved out of Jason's arms. She looked down realizing she was just in her bra and panties and grabbed a blanket covering herself up. Jason watched her nervously cover up.

J: You're still so beautiful Carly.

He reached out and touched her face. Carly closed her eyes at his touch.

J: I've missed you so much Carly.

C: I've missed you to.

J: I had hoped you would.

C: Jase, what are you doing here?

J: I had been looking for you after your accident.

C: No I mean right here right now.

J: I wanted to see you; I needed to talk to you. Plus I was worried after the scene I saw at the penthouse earlier.

C: Tonight?

J: Yeah I saw you struggling with Sonny. I got him off of you. You looked right at me Carly, don't you remember?

Carly bowed her head "I thought you were just a figment of my imagination. I didn't really think you were real."

Jason moved up onto his knees and took her face in his hands. "This is real Carly. We are both here together and its real." He leaned in and lightly brushed his lips over hers. When she didn't pull back he moved in again and kissed her lovingly this time reacquainting himself with her taste and warmth.

His head was swimming and she felt so good, god the warmth of her lips against his, he was home finally home.

Carly felt that old familiar electricity begin to shoot throughout her body, starting in her heart and spreading down to the tips of her toes. Jason was kissing her! God if felt so right.

They pulled apart resting their foreheads against each other. Carly was the first one to speak.

C: What's happening?

J: Exactly what I have wanted to happen for so long now.

Carly looked into his eyes searching for answers. "This is too crazy. I don't understand."

J: Crazy?

C: Yeah Crazy!

Jason couldn't help but laugh. Hell he even felt a headache coming on and he welcomed it. "Carly come here", he demanded. Jason didn't wait for a response from her he immediately claimed her lips again. This time he was more forceful and demanding. He nibbled her bottom lip his tongue darting out asking for entrance. As she began to relax into the kiss he grabbed her lower back pulling her into him tightly. She moaned at the connection of their bodies and opened her mouth fully to him. His tongue explored her mouth, dancing and dueling with her tongue while his hands roamed her body. Breathlessly he whispered, "I want to get lost in you Carly. Just you and me, we'll shut the rest of the world out."

My heart is yours
Every part of me wants to give you more
More time to love
'Cause you never know when life will leave us
I want to take in all the beauty here
Let the world around us just disappear

Not one inch of her body, heart or soul was going to let her say no to him. She locked eyes with him and smiled while her hands pulled his t-shirt out of his jeans. Her hands moved up his stomach and chest, Jason growled at her touch. He lifted his arms up over his head and she removed his shirt. Carly's eyes roamed his bare chest followed by her hands. "Talk about gorgeous as ever Jase."

She smiled genuinely with complete love shining through and touched his face before turning her back to him. She flipped her long blonde hair over one shoulder and gave him a glance. He didn't need to hear any words his hands immediately reached up and unhooked her bra. He moved in closer to her pushing the straps off over her shoulders, his lips following the same path placing soft kisses on each of her perfect bare shoulders. She shrugged out of the bra letting it fall next to them and leaned back into him. Jason encased her in his arms his hands finding her breasts and cupping them, he kissed her neck and moaned as their full weight filled his hands.

C: Mmmm Jason.

Her purring his name almost made him cum right then.

He huskily moaned "I want you so bad Carly." Jason turned her around in his arms. It was his turn to admire her beautiful body; he smiled his hand running lightly over her skin, starting at her neck and roaming over each of her breasts. His mouth watered to taste her; he leaned down and captured of her hardened nipples between his lips and began sucking and licking.

Maybe tonight
We could close the door and lock ourselves inside
Take time to feel
I don't want to miss the chance to be so real
The days all fly away and I forget the truth
Everything that matters is in this room

When you lie next to me
Breathing the air I breathe
We don't have to speak
Just be
Love is a precious thing
Don't want to waste a day
One more minute
Without you in it
Life is so sweet
When you lie next to me

The contact of his warm mouth on her skin made her increasingly wet for him. Her head fell backward as her hands gripped the back of his neck, urging him to continue his wonderful homage to her breasts. As Jason alternated between her nipples Carly's hands began their own journey down his body. She masterfully had his jeans undone within seconds and began stroking his hard cock.

"God Carly" he growled his eyes closing in pure ecstasy of her touch. He found himself quickly loosing control and the ache to bury himself deep inside of her was taking over. Jason's hands covered hers as she continued to stroke him. He moved with her for a few moments but then stopped her pulling away her hand in fear he was going to cum. He moved off the bed to fully remove his jeans and boxers.

Carly laid down on the bed she lifted her hips removing her panties then began massaging and pinching her nipples as she watched Jason strip. Her eyes roamed his body stopping on his huge erect cock. She smiled and bit her lower lip in anticipation of him fully inside her.

She reached over to her nightstand opening the top drawer revealing a box of condoms. Jason watched her his eyes following her movement to the condoms. He shook his head no then descended upon her.

J: No condoms. I skin to skin Carly.

C: Jase…..

Before she could get out another word he put his finger over her lips "This is it for me Carly. You're it for me."

She smiled and initiated a tender kiss. Jason positioned himself perfectly on top of her; one of his hands moving to the inside of her thigh spreading her legs apart wider to accommodate him. Carly felt his tip teasing over her center, ready to slide inside her. Jason held her face between his hands and slowly began to sink into her.

Carly cried out gasping as he stretched her open. He nibbled on her bottom lip the sucked it soothingly trying to distract her as he pulled out then thrust fully back into her in one swift motion. She moaned into his mouth finding herself already on the verge of an orgasm.

Jason couldn't believe how perfectly they still fit together. She was so wet and even tighter than he remembered. His strokes were deep and hard, hitting every inch inside her. She felt herself spiraling and climaxed quickly shattering around him. Jason watched as her face became flush and her breathing turned to pants. Her moaning and cries were music to his ears. God he had missed her so much.

When you lie next to me
Breathing the air I breathe
We don't have to speak
Just be
Love is a precious thing
Don't want to waste a day
One more minute
Without you in it
Life is so sweet
When you lie next to me

Jason locked eyes with her and they began moving in unison. It had been so long since they had been together as one, yet each knew the others bodies perfectly and they fell into the same perfect rhythm. The room filled with their moans and heaving breathing as the two returned home to each other. Their eyes never breaking away Jason began thrusting faster, each hit harder than the last. He was on the verge and ached for his release and Carly felt her self ready to cum again as well. She began tightening and releasing around him, within seconds they both climaxed, Jason exploding deeply inside her trembling body, each screaming out each other's names in ecstasy.

I want to feel you breathe
Lost in mystery
Come over close to me
You are my everything
I'll hold you endlessly

Jason leaned down and captured her lips in a searing kiss. His hot breath whispered over her lips "I love you so much Carly" before he began moving onto place little butterfly kisses all over her face and neck.

Carly opened her eyes trying to come out of her dreamlike state. Did she just hear Jason say he loved her? Like for real, really loved her? She pushed against his chest to stop him. "Jason".

J: What? What's wrong?

C: What did you just say?

He smiled his all knowing smug smile "I said I love you."

C: That’s what I thought you said.

She pushed him off of her. Jason reluctantly slid out of her and rolled off onto his side. Carly fixed the blankets tucking them in around herself angrily.

Jason laughed at her. "What are you doing?"

C: Don't laugh at me Jason Morgan she huffed.

J: Then tell me what your doing.

He moved closer to her reaching out to brush away a few damp strays of hair away from her face.

She looked over at him to find him just smiling away in amusement with her. She couldn't help but smile and begin laughing at herself. "I don't know what I am doing. Do you?"

J: Oh I know exactly what I am doing (he said smugly)

Carly rolled over onto her side facing him. "Well then maybe you could fill me in cause I am at a loss here Jase. I mean god what we just did was………"

J: Incredible

C: Yeah incredible. But what did it mean? Was it a goodbye, a quick fuck, what?

J: I am hoping it’s a new beginning for us.

C: A beginning? (she asked tentatively)

J: I want a life with you Carly. You, me and Michael as a real family. That is if you still want me?

C: I have always loved you Jason.

J: Loved?

C: Still love, am in love, will always love you.

Jason inched closer grabbing her hips pulling her closer. "Thank god" he whispered before kissing her sweetly.

C: Hey I thought you said I would wreck you.

Jason touched her lovingly, rubbing her arm then interlocking their fingers together. "See that's the funny thing, I have been a wreck without you. When I thought you were gone I wanted to die Carly. I couldn't imagine my life without you in it. When you came back I was so grateful for a second chance with you I just want us to have the life both of us have dreamed of together. Finally together."

Carly found herself reduced to a indescribably happy mess, with tears running down her face. Jason wiped away a few tears "happy tears I hope" he asked her.

Carly laughed "Yes, happy tears." Jason leaned in and began kissing her tears as they rolled down her cheek. "Baby I love you. No more tears, only smiles and laughter for us from now on."

C: You know I will make you crazy.

J: Crazy is good just as long as we are together.

C: Crazy is good? I'm not gonna let you forget you said that Jason Morgan, she teased.

J: Oh I know you won't.

Carly snuggled into Jason's chest and his arms wrapped tightly and protectively around her.

C: A lot of stuff has happened.

J: I don't care about the past, only the future. We can do anything, go anywhere, deal with anyone as long as it's together, always together.

"Mmmm together", I am so liking the sound of that. Jason placed kisses on her forehead. "I love you baby."

C: I love you too Jase.
